First released as a double 7”, then on CD on 4AD, and a few months later in the U.S. on Geffen Records.
By far their best album, though I suspect casual fans may not be as familiar with this one as their third album, “Retreat From The Sun”.
So many fun, well constructed songs featuring truly beautiful voices singing about things like Shakey’s Pizza, Zodiac signs, and having your area code changed. Very SoCal.
The harmonizing vocals of the Haden sisters and Anna Waronker (married to Steve McDonald of Redd Kross!) are the main draw for me. Best example is the track “Punk Rock Girl”, but you can hear it in the punky indie-pop opening track “Old Timer” 👇
@Robotron She sounds cool. Was she ever able to see them live? I saw them early on in LA, then late 90's in SF at the Warfield (iirc they opened for Weezer)
